This was great, thanks for posting!
Uh yeah… Some did say things to that effect.
And there are other behaviours that can demonstrate that mindset.
But thank you for mansplaining my lived experience, champ. Couldn’t have navigated that one with my pea sized, woman’s brain.
I go through life making snap judgements of people I hire and don’t at all try to find common ground or empathise with their position, because I love pissing money up the wall and endless recruitment processes. Just floats my boat, you know
Used to work in digital design. By pure happenstance the foundational initial team on a major project was all women and we recognised that wasn’t a good balance in terms of external perception but also in terms of getting different perspectives on design approaches.
We managed to recruit some great blokes, but they were hard to find. So many of the new dudes didn’t work out because it was so obvious how inferior they perceived us women to be. Very few of them had the skills to warrant any level of arrogance, let alone full blown superiority complex.
It was disappointing.
Everything except the Grindr one. Endangering people is never cool.
In the, admittedly terrible, movie Moonfall (2022) they use his tech and one of the main characters keeps saying things like “God I love Elon”. I guess it was under development in years previous but we long knew that he was a babyish edgelord (see behaviour over the rescue of the Thai soccer team in 2018).
Seems shortsighted to make him such a focus.
YKK zips. On anything I’ve ever owned, they don’t break. And I find that more durable clothing brands will use YKK zips.

I read half the article (got the gist and yeah it’s very true and very funny) but bowed out because of the infestation of ads on that site.
I hate this internet
Just an FYI incase they weren’t typos but the word you’re after in the first and last paragraph is ‘loses’; the one in the second para is correct.
How this would translate to business applications - audit trails, documenting decisions etc - that’s where I can’t see a way out of email.
… Such as?
I’m waiting for invisible. I’m almost 40. I just want to do things without anyone noticing me, let alone staring, yelling, hitting on me etc. I just want to be an anonymous entity moving through the world, not a woman-that-men-want-to-fuck.
I’ve been that since I was 12.
Did you really just use the word ‘woke’ outside of the comments section of sky/fox news videos?
Client feedback.
They’re wrong, but because they’re paying, they’re right.
I still get super upset when all the hobbits are so distraught after Gandalf falls. ‘get them up’
Nah it’s not
Edit: well that was a fun experiment. The Reddit-esque nature of just approving contrary, trite statements is rife here on Lemmy too.
The person I replied to was correct. If English is your second language it’s forgivable. For the rest of you, speak to your local member about the state of education where you live. Jfc.
Same? I’m really confused which ads they’re taking about
50% paper 🤣 I understand this. My body is a desert.
